Breast Cancer Occurrence After Risk-reducing Mastectomies in 274 Cases: A Single Center With More Than 42 Years of Experience.

Introduction: Carriers of genetic mutations with a high risk of developing breast cancer have a lifetime risk of this cancer of up to 70%. To reduce the risk, patients have the option of a risk-reducing mastectomy. There is limited data with only short follow-ups on its safety.

The EUPEMEN (EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking) Protocol for Acute Appendicitis: Recommendations for Perioperative Care.

Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of emergency department visits due to acute abdominal pain, with a lifetime risk of 7-8%. Managing AA presents significant challenges, particularly among vulnerable patient groups, due to its association with substantial morbidity and mortality. : The EUPEMEN (European PErioperative MEdical Networking) project aims to optimize perioperative care for AA by developing multidisciplinary guidelines that integrate theoretical knowledge and clinical expertise from five European countries.

The EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) project and recommendations for perioperative care in colorectal surgery: a quality improvement study.

Background: Despite consensus supporting enhanced recovery programs, their full implementation in such a context is difficult due to conventional practices within various groups of professionals. The goal of the EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) project was to bring together the expertise and experience of national clinical professionals who have previously helped deliver major change programs in their countries and to use them to spread enhanced recovery after surgery protocols (ERAS) in Europe. The specific aim of this study is to present and discuss the key points of the proposed recommendations for colorectal surgery.
